Integrated Applications Promotion (IAP)

Integrated Applications

The IAP ARTES 20 programme is dedicated to the development, implementation and pilot operation of integrated applications. These are innovative, user-driven and sustainable applications and commercial services of space systems that combine different types of satellites, such as telecommunications, Earth observation and navigation.

The programme responds to users' needs, addressing a number of themes. The initial themes addressed in the programme are:

Space for Health

Space for Safety

Space for Development

Space for Energy

Space for Transport

A growing network of ‘IAP Ambassadors’ is persuading new users from many different sectors that sustainable space-based services can help meet their needs.

Proposal to the Ministerial Council

The extension of the programme for a period of four years will be proposed to Council, with the objective of achieving an annual throughput of 21 feasibility studies and 18 demonstration projects leading up to 5 sustainable services per year.
